You are Inscribed on the Palms of His Hands

You are Inscribed on the Palms of His Hands
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.” (Jer1:5)


He knew your little fingers and toes
as you floated inside your mother
He had great plans for you
inside this temporary home
the safest place He thought
He smiled down from Heaven at you
when you hiccuped He sighed
He had a name for you
knew the color your hair
and eyes would be
formed the miniature bones
and began covering you with
flesh
He said it was “Good”
what happened next,
never entered into His heart
when a doctor struck
your skull,
and began tearing
the tears He shed
from His Throne
for you
His Righteous Indignation
began writing judgments
against the culprits
you shook
and trembled
your blood pouring
out of you
the woman who should
have protected you
got dressed and left
But God never forgot you
nor ever will
for you see,
“you are inscribed on the palms of his hands.”
(Isaiah49:16)
